From openly inciting, justifying and celebrating clear acts of terrorism in Venezuela..., to picturing sick Venezuelan children to cater for them Turnips need of emotional porn... to todays' article that doesn't even bother to mention Venezuela...
What is it that them Turnips great beautiful friend..., Mr. Trump calls this kind of News...?
The headline doesn't mention Venezuela, but the article does.

Feb 02nd, 2018 - 09:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0I can see that you did react to the article depicting a sick child in a Venezuelan hospital's incubator getting medical care with the punchline...:
***Leaving children to starve is NOT patriotic.***
Well... I don't know about patriotic but... that incubator..., serum and doctor'hand certainly looks to me as a damn innefective way of leaving children to die...

It could be even funny... if it didn't end sewering the lives of millions of brownies...(babies included)
Refusing international aid when there are massive shortages of food and medicine is a good way to let children die.

” QUESTIONING THE HEADLINES...
Feb 02nd, 2018 - 06:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0While hunger anywhere deserves high-level media coverage, it bears asking why Venezuela, a country which, by many indicators, has made important advances against hunger and poverty, is being targeted daily for dire coverage that does not reflect reality on the ground. Furthermore, why are the challenges being covered (albeit in a distorted manner), but not the many innovative and successful responses, from an explosion of urban agriculture, to an agroecological transition, to unprecedented levels of citizen organization around food production and provisioning? The answers to this are multifold, complex, and subject to different perspectives and interpretations, but *** WE HOPE THE READERS ARE ENCOUREGED TO SEEK OUT MORE INFORMATION BEFORE T A K I NG C U R R E N T N E W S R E P O R T S

Even from them, the picture isn't pretty.
It happens that I know a couple of people who used to work in Venezuela; one was married to a Venezuelan. Neither of them has anything good to say about Chavez.
As for your 'explosion of urban agriculture', sounds like Dig for Victory. Only Venezuela is not at war and they should be able to feed their population.
The one thing I will say is that the media is a lot less interested in poverty and malnutrition in countries that do tow the line and follow the US and IMF's preferred dogma.
